I am looking forward to getting PLII. My old onkyo just has 5.1 DD and DTS. For music I will really miss my onkyo 5 ch stereo. I dont like just useing the 2 mains and subs. I want all the speakers rocken. I dont think I will like PLII for music....

Never heard it before. All I really have listened to is DD and dts in 5.1 and the music and non DD/DTS tv shows in 5 ch stereo.

What does neo:6 do for the sound...I have seen it a bunch but never found out what it does exactly. Is it a 6ch sound like DTSEX

It is the DTS equivalent to ProLogic II.
I don't like it too much (at least for classical music); I always feel it is "too central" for my taste, but I am glad my receiver can do it. I found myself in the past few weeks changing settings and algo once in a while (including using Neo:6!).

They all have a diffent feel, which means that, when changing and re-configuring, you end up experiencing different "rooms". It is quite nice. I have thus stopped finding the "perfect surround settings" for me and have rather started to enjoy changing (they are all good, it is just a matter of taste). I also have Neural-THX.

Neo6 utilizes multi-channel just like PLIIx but, like Eric says, it has a more central, more "up-front" rather than surround presentation. I don't like it either and now I exclusively use PLIIx. When you use PLII, make sure you disable the wrap-around effect so that you hear ambience rather than the band wrapped around you.

I much prefer Neo6 to DPLII. Perhaps I should go back and try it again, though. I found DPLII to be too laid back with my H/K and the M50s. Haven't touched it since I got the M80s.

Experiment with your surround levels.

Heh... I haven't recalibrated for aeons... not even when I moved the speakers back from their Xmas positions. I'm too damn lazy. ;\)

Use your ears to do the final calibration. For whatever reason, I found that my meter didn't respond correctly to my right side speakers because I have an opening going up the stairs. So I tweaked them by ear.
